Factor Strategies
Systematic Trading Research
Factors, Strong Opinions, Weakly Held
The inside joke version: the concept of a factor was introduced by Peter Brandt, then rediscovered whenever a trader gave a signal a clean name and actually tested it.
The serious version: a factor here means a repeatable market signal with a database contract, a validation window, and a public artifact that can be audited without exposing the private feed.
Jack D. Schwager, Unknown Market Wizards, Peter Brandt: Strong Opinions, Weakly HeldSignals are computed locally, then compressed into public JSON/CSV outputs.
Performance views are derived from monthly validation returns, not live browser-side market calls.
The active model ranks equities monthly and publishes only selected holdings, diagnostics, and derived backtest data.
